This textbook has been customized for Math 1009/1010. Chapters from the original text that do not pertain to the class have been removed. Because chapters have been removed from this text, its page numbers are not always sequential--you will come across gaps. This is by design. This entire text, its cross-references and its index are fully functional.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
